Overlooked 1971 album from classically trained British composer Ed Welch, featuring lyrics by American folk icon Tom Paxton. Welch's sophisticated arrangements, from refined orchestration to elegant piano-led melodies, meet Paxton's warm, inviting words across ten songs that move effortlessly between upbeat pop and tender balladry. Often compared to the Elton John/Bernie Taupin partnership, the Welch-Paxton collaboration produced songs later covered by Cilla Black. This first-ever reissue, produced by Michael de Albuquerque and remastered by Prof. Stoned, includes two non-album A & B sides and an 8-page booklet with liner notes by Xander Pas and recollections from George and Michael de Albuquerque.
